- Abstract
This paper has been prepared within the scope of the Calynda-Şerefler Excavation, which was initiated in late 2022 under the direction of Fethiye Museum Directorate, with the financial support of Muğla Governorship Investment Monitoring and Coordination Directorate and Dalaman Municipality, under the scientific consultancy of the author. The paper provides a general evaluation and critical observations on Calynda and its surroundings from the perspectives of ancient history and ancient geography. Calynda was the most powerful and the largest city in the Carian-Lycian border region together with or after Kaunos in the Archaic and Classical periods. In the Hellenistic period it was a typical polis with urban institutions and officials, minting coins and hosting a Ptolemaic garrison. Both Kaunos and Rhodes made attempts to own this city at various periods. It was a member of the Lycian Leauge during the Roman Period. Calynda was recorded in three road connections with Telmessos, Lyrnai and Kaunos in the Pataran Road Monument and Opramoas provided aid to the city after the earthquake in 141 AD. The problems and debates regarding the localisation of the city are also discussed in the paper. However, the group of ruins at Dalaman-Şerefler, which is currently being excavated, constitutes one of the most important sites of Calynda. We hope that the results of the investigations and excavations conducted on this group of remains and the observations to be made in its immediate vicinity will provide us with enlightening information.
